Time for new tires.

2018 Tundra 1794 w/ TRD Pro package

Two of my tires are nearly worn out.

Zero interest in buying new rims or lifting the truck.

Light to moderate off-roading. No boulder crawling or river crossing. Mostly trails, forest, and deserts requiring decent clearance but nothing crazy.

lots of highway driving

live and mostly drive in moderate climates (California)

Want to maximize longevity but not at expense of performance.

trying to keep road noise to a minimum.

Suggestions?

 

I’m guessing you have the TRD off-road package, not the Pro package on your 1794 so you don’t have the +2 inches of lift up front. That said, you could probably get away with going to a 275/70 if you wanted slightly larger tires- plenty of options in the stock size as well.

You’d probably be best served with a good all-terrain. I’m really happy with my Toyo AT3s, lots of Tundras are running BFG KO2s and Falken WildPeaks. Mickey Thompson’s new Baja Boss AT looks good but I don’t know a lot about them. All tires I mentioned are also 3PMSF rated if you encounter snow.

 

I should add the truck next year will be treking from San Francisco to Barrow, Alaska. So great snow performance would be ideal

New-to-me truck. I wasn't aware there's a difference between a TRD Pro Package and a TRD off-road package. How can I tell which one I have?

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look at the Michelins. I ran the Cooper AT3s on my 4Runner before I sold it last fall. They were great tires, although I wasn't terribly happy with their longevity; I was replacing them about 45-50,000 miles.

 

TRD Off Road package probably has yellow and blue shocks, it's a suspension upgrade(?)..
No lift.



TRD Pro is a vehicle model, like your 1794, Platinum, Limited, SR5, and SR..
It has shocks with a separate reservoir and as others stated a front 2" lift.



There is no such thing as a 1794 TRD Pro.

 

As to your tires;
I run these in 275/60/20, but I don't know how they would do in the snow..

I went in to buy Cooper AT3 XLT, but gave these a try.
Very happy with them..

The ride and noise is much better than the BFG KO and KO2s I've had.

 

Got it. We're on the same page. I knew there was a TRD Pro model but misread your post as saying there are two different TRD packages on the 1794.

CORRECT - I have a 1794 with the package added on. I do not have a TRD Pro trim Tundra.

 

Why did you go with these instead of the Coopers you intended to get?

 

Discount Tire worked with Goodyear and sells this tire exclusively.
I previously wasn't Goodyear's biggest fan, but the sales guy really talked these tires up.
I'm sure he got a better commission selling them over the Coopers.

They were over $80 cheaper per tire ($320 for the set) at the time.
I paid $220 each for them.
Plus the Goodyears in this 275/60/20 size are SL-rated and Coopers in this 275/60/20 size are E rated like my KO2s were.
I'm sure that is another reason the sales guy suggested them because I mentioned to him I wanted a smoother ride.
It does ride smoother with the SL-rated tires.

I had 30 days to decide if I liked them or not.
I figured if I didn't like them, I'd go back for the Coopers, but so far I've been pretty happy with them.

A less aggressive and quieter tread than the KO2s I had, yet the Goodyear has a nice looking aggressive sidewall.
A more aggressive tread the Coopers, which look like the Michelin tread to me.

I also considered the Toyos, but after months of over researching, as I do, I decided on the Coopers.
I was kind of surprised myself that I tried the Goodyears, but I'm glad I did..

I only ran Michilens on my 2005 Tundra.
But my 2014 has a small lift and a more off-road look, even though I never go off-road..

 

True. However, Ford also owns a Volvo. And at one time Land Rover. Corporate ownership does not necessarily mean two product lines are the same or even of similar quality; nor even built of a common heritage or foundation.
